A fashion spoof draped over the bones of a puerile conspiracy adventure, this vanity comedy fails at every level barring its incidental details.

At times Zoolander threatens to disappear up its own catwalk, but it's often very funny stuff.

This light silly and fluffy satire of the fashion industry targets for a change not the female but male models.

Think of 'Zoolander' as the anti-Austin Powers set to the retro-kitsch sounds of Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Wham! Stiller spins gags around his harmless idiot and enlists friends and acquaintances to join in on the fun.
